I go to see my little girl each Sunday afternoon And how I dread the words I know she'll say She'll ask me when I'm coming home I'll answer pretty soon But I know I'm just her mommy for a day She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home And that her daddy wanted things this way We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks to walk away alone To have to be her mommy for a day I loved her dad with all my heart they lied and ruined our home Oh why did he believe the things they said I pray in time he'll change his mind and take me back once more Then I'll not be her mommy for a day She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home And that her daddy wanted things this way We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks to walk away alone To have to be her mommy for a day
